The Land Shark waiting for a Jello Square by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

This is my dog called the Land Shark. My Mother used to make Cherry Jello Squares for my Brother and I .  When Mom would leave to do errands we would take the jello squares and throw them up on the ceiling where they would stick for a minute and our dog would sit intensely under the jello square and snap as it came down off the ceiling. My Mother once asked me what are those pink marks on the ceiling, I said oh I don't know.

Poem from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

      School, College, The Mickey Mouse Club

Play the game for the sham dance, the sickening romance

      Be the tool, be the fool for the Oligarchy

The laughing chimpanzee in the easy chair atop the tree

Rest in luxury on the rats tale and know that you have failed.
